We pioneer removing the stress of moving to a positive mindset that this is just a new beginning. We gently say goodbye to the past and hello to the future. How can we best serve your needs?
Custom Crates for Your Special Items
Own something that gives you anxiety every time you move? That special vase, artwork, or porcelain doll that you think might break every time it gets packed up? Our custom crates box up your anxiety and ship it far away, leaving you worry-free during your move.
Custom crates built specifically for your precious items give you peace of mind and provide the best way to ship your fragile, irreplaceable, or costly items. From the very small to very big, and from the flat to 3D, these delicate belongings are protected in sturdy crates. And all our custom crates are fully custom—built specifically for that item.
We measure your items by hand, in person, and walk you through our process of making each of our individual custom crates. You’ll have complete confidence from the moment it’s secured in the box until it arrives safely at its destination. Every item deserves to come out in the same condition it went in, and custom-built crates are the best way to ensure that happens.
Wrapped with Care for Your Peace of Mind
What we wrap each item in is custom as well. Whatever wrapping materials are the best for an object, that’s what we’ll use—whether it’s blankets, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or carefully “wedging” the item into place. We’ll wrap and pack in the best way possible to keep your belongings safe.
We measure, design, build, wrap and pack everything by hand. So you can focus on the move while we sweat the tiny details of protecting the items you value the most.
Sturdy, Stackable & Reusable
When we design a crate, we make sure it’s perfectly suited for the specific item it’s built to protect. We also ensure the crate is reusable. If you need to move more than once, you’ll have a crate ready to go—safely moving that item over and over again.
We build every single one of our crates sturdy enough to stack inside a moving truck! There’s no worry about bending or collapsing. All our moving crates exceed industry standards, and our custom crates are no exception.
You don’t have to cross your fingers hoping that your grandfather clock won’t shatter if someone hits the brakes too hard. Or worry that your heirloom china might get crushed when a heavy box is placed on top of it. Your beautiful artwork—and the frame it’s in—will both make it to their destination ready to display in your new home.
Short-Term Storage Solutions During Your Move
When there’s a gap between leaving your old place and moving into your new space, you need short-term storage for your belongings. Sterling Interstate has the perfect solution for this “awkward” phase! Cover your temporary need for space with a storage vault. Each “vault” is like a giant crate. They measure 7 feet by 7 feet by 5 feet and provide a safe space for everything when you don’t yet have a place.
We created our new vault storage service to help remove the stress from your move. Short-term storage vaults give you breathing room. Store your items with short-term storage for 1-6 months. Simplify your move and take a literal load off with our short-term storage solution.
Long-Term Storage Services For All Your Needs
Our storage services are not limited to short-term! Sterling Interstate’s inventoried and secured units are the perfect solution for long-term storage of 6 months or more.
This can be a great option for members of the armed forces who may want to secure their items while they are deployed. Get peace of mind that your belongings are safe and secure while you’re away serving our country!
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
